We mean not to disparage the Bison, who are currently 6-0 with wins over Sam Houston State, Western Illinois and Mississippi Valley State. But that seems, you know, a bit high. For example: They're one spot ahead of Oregon.

This week the Bison play Minnesota in Minneapolis. The Golden Gophers are not very good this year; we hope this continues to propel the Bison to a BCS title game with South Florida.
